Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention .
Inhalation causes headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, restlessness, muscular uncoordination and irritation of the respiratory tract. Contact causes irritation of the eyes and skin. Ingestion may cause headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, restlessness and muscular uncoordination. (USCG, 1999)
Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway. Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for shock and treat if necessary . Anticipate seizures and treat as necessary . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with normal saline during transport . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 ml/kg up to 200 d of water for dilution if the patient can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. Administer activated charcoal . Nitrates, nitrites, and related compounds
Use water spray, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Fight fire from protected location or maximum possible distance. nitropropanes
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Combustion products include toxic oxides of nitrogen along with carbon monoxide. Behavior in Fire: Produces toxic gases and vapors. Containers may explode in heat of fire. Vapor explosive hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewer. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Flashback may occur along vapor trail. (USCG, 1999)
Use powder, foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
Collect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

After covering the spills with soda ash, mix and spray with water. Scoop into a bucket of water and leave it stand for 2 hr. Neutralize with 6 M HCl ...
NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Above 36°C use a closed system, ventilation and explosion-proof electrical equipment. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.

AEROBIC: When 1-nitropropane was incubated with activated sludge, 23.3% mineralization occurred in 5 days(1). During a closed bottle biodegradability test, using a municipal sewage plant effluent innoculum, 45% degradation of 1-nitropropane occurred within 28 days(1). Aerobic C14 studies performed with soil microorganisms resulted in 4.6% conversion to CO2 in 35 days(1). During this time 21.2% was lost as volatile products(1).
A BCF value of 1.3 was measured for fish (Golden ide) in a static 3-day test with 1-nitropropane present at 50 ppb(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Bioconcentration of 1-nitropropane in algae (Chlorella fusca) was measured using (14)C-labelled 1-nitropropane at 50 ppb. The algae were irradiated for 24 hours; 92.9% of the radioactivity was present in solution, 1.7% of the radioactivity was associated with the algae(1). A bioconcentration factor of 180 for algae was calculated from this experiment(1).
The Koc of 1-nitropropane is estimated as 71(SRC), using a log Kow of 0.87(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 1-nitropropane is expected to have high mobility in soil. The pKa of 1-nitropropane is 8.98(4), indicating that this compound will partially exist in anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5).

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
